How to protect Excel file

Dear Sirs,

If I would like to protect Excel file, by the purpose of protecting file being deleted by others, but it needs password if you'd like to delete file, how to do? thanks.

Best Regards,
Conrad

Not possible through Excel. Not strictly on-topic.

Protection against deletion is provided by the operating system. Neither
Windows nor Mac OS directly provide deletion only via password confirmation.
It could be done more easily in Mac OS X than the other OS versions under
which Excel runs by using a suid script to request the password and delete
the file. Unless you have experience writing suid scripts under Unix
variants, this won't be easy.
